rns90 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Yeah, I basically remember reading that Murray sucks in coverage. It sounds like they still need to sign a starting level LB who can cover. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 (edited) @Face is going to love this guy. He's basically a smaller version of Rashaan Evans. I don't mind it tbh. You all were crooning over Isiah Simmons...this guy is a very similar player athletically* Edited: rns brings up a good point that their athleticism doesn't translate the same way at all. Simmons is good in space and this guy isn't. Edited March 12 by IsntLifeFunny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Kidding aside, this is a pure traits guy just like Dillard was. The kid is an athletic freak. I bet the contract comes back really similar to Dillard's in terms of guarantees and outs for the team. Bongo59 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 At this point I have a little optimism in the player, but unless the money we are seeing is something of a smokescreen it seems like they paid way too much. Maybe the deal is more backloaded and it’s not as expensive as it seems? Maybe the “guaranteed money” isn’t truly guaranteed and it’s in the 2nd year? We'll see… IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson must have seen something he loved about him because I don't get it. He does have a very similar athletic profile to Isiah Simmons though.

I just question the money. reo, TylerRoseFan, and Justafan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who watched a bunch of Clemson games when he was playing, Simmons had a way better skill set in terms of coverage/versatility.

Yep. Not arguing against that at all. Murray is made more for downhill behind the line type of defense and apparently was completely lost in space. Seems like our ILB won't be asked to do a lot of coverage. ETA I see I said similar player. That's my bad. I meant in terms of athleticism and not play style. Poor choice of words. Their RAS are really similar though. Edited March 12 by IsntLifeFunny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanskick8851 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 While I am not the biggest fan of the Murray signing, it is very clear that they have athletic traits that they are looking for. Which is a welcome change and shows they have a vision for what they are looking for. From reading around it seems like he was miscast and not used to his strengths once Staley got there. Seems like he could be our “Patrick Queen” in this defense used as a missile to fly around be field, especially on blitzes. No doubt this explains the interest in Reader and Armstead, as they will need some large guys up front to occupy blockers for players of Murray’s type to be able to excel. Also think we likely add a bruiser LB to serve next to him in wave 2 of free agency. Someone like Wagner or David might be the kind of player to help guide a young LB role see Here’s to hoping this one works out!! oldschool, IsntLifeFunny, and CaliTitan3518 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I don't mind it. Curious who they pair him with at ILB. Queen really took off in Balt when they got a good ILB to pair with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
